I did enjoy it, because it's some fancy car control and sliding. But seeing the skid marks present already reminds me of watching movies where cars are drifting around a turn for what should be the first time, but you see on the pavement all the skid marks from previous attempts.
Considering his STI is close to what I would want my STI to be. I want the WRC body kit (too expensive for me) with spoiler (don't have $15,000 for the real wing, nor do I have $2500 for a fiberglass knockoff). Would have done a bit different plumbing on the intercooler and reversed the intake manifold to get less intercooler plumbing but still looks fun as hell. I remember following this car when it was his Gumball 3000 car, then it was his One Lap of America car (had my favorite paint job ever on it) and now it's his gymkhana car. I wouldn't complain if he made more of these videos, he just needs to invite me for a test drive next time

> > Cheers, > Anders > > Raleigh, NC > Impreza H6 3.0 Want to see a nice 1 sequence car movie? It's called "Rendez-vous" by Claude Lelouche, At the beggining it says (in French) there is no special effect, no fast forward. There where no closed roads, only one guy with a walkie talkie in one critical part that was supposed to call in case of proplem! Lelouche was driving his personal Mercedes for that film. It was done with the remaining film from his previous movie and it was thight, could not do a double take or even just slow down or he would have ran out of tape! I hope I posted the correct version, even though the engine sound is dubbed by the one of a Ferrari, it's still better than the one with music. I don't have my sound working right now so I can't check. Francois |
